For instance, one of the items you'll need is a small DC motor. These motors can be found in old washing machines, sewing machines, treadmills, etc. It will probably run you around $30-$40. People are selling them on eBay these days too.
Did you know that, on average, three quarters of an inoperable car's parts can be reused because they are still in working condition? An auto salvage yard could have just the pieces you're looking for! Even small, locally owned salvage yards can have a few thousand cars' worth of parts on hand. That's over a million parts! And not only is it likely that they'll have the parts you need, but some places will also install the parts for you on-site. Some salvage yards also encourage you to call ahead with the description of the part you need so that they can pull it from the yard and have it ready for you when you arrive. This saves you time AND money!
There are many things that you should think about when you are looking for the parts for your race car. You have to think about the quality as well as the way that you will get the parts to go with you when you are going to the races.
OK, time to set the gap of the new plug with a gap gauge (Remember the proper gap is specified on the engine specs decal underside of the hood). You can buy a gap gauge at your part time. Slide the correct thickness wire or feeler between the inner and outer electrodes at the tip of the plug. The feeler will slide between the electrodes with a slight drag when the plugs are properly gapped. If the gap isn't right, slightly bend the outer electrode until you achieve the right gap. Ensure the outer electrode is inline over the inner electrode.
The parts are hard to find, and are therefore expensive. Unless you engage in a treasure hunt and search for parts cars in junkyards and auctions, stock parts may be a little expensive. The reason for this is simple: car companies don't produce those parts anymore, so it would be considered rare by most people, much like a classic car.
The solution to this problem might be surprising at first, but it makes sense when you look at the numbers. eBay has tens of thousands of cars for sale at any given time, both in the auction and "buy it now" formats. While relatively few of these cars are wrecked or salvage cars, the sheer numbers involved make it certain that there will always be a nice supply of this kind of car. You can narrow your search in terms of finding the model, make and year that you are interested in. You can search through the cars to find one that is reasonably close to your present location. You can even take a look at different models and you might change your mind when it comes to selecting a car to buy.
